Our first baby daughter...freewrite prompt - cancer

I sat down next to my girlfriend's hospital bed waiting for the professional to come talk to us.

Becky was very tired after giving birth,only hours ago to our beautiful daughter. Our first.
"MMM...I need to go check something", He had said to, leaving . He had a frown across his as he walked away, looking at his charts..

It seemed like hours before he came walking back into the ward, my hand holding Becky's, tight with trepidation.
He looked serious. He looked as us solemnly.

"I've checked and I've double checked," He said "Your daughter...." His voice trailing off, looking at us both, unable to continue.

"Cancer?, " I said, unable to believe I was uttering those dark words out loud. I squeezed my girlfriends hand, looking at her "It might be a mistake, they make mistakes all the time" My voice cracking, unable to hide the pain I felt inside..

My girlfriend had tears rolling down her beautiful cheeks

"How long?", My girlfriend said " Tell us, please we have to know.."

" A couple of hours at most" Came the reply..

"NOOOOOO!", Becky screamed. " I should have had premature birth"

"It's okay sweetheart, it's not your fault," I said squeezing her hand.

"Yes it it!" She screamed back at me, "If I'd had a premature birth she would have been a Gemini.."
I looked at her, knowing what she said was true.

She could have been a beautiful Gemini daughter, but she was now cursed to be a Cancer for the rest of her life..
